I think I answered this before, but when you set up the rule did you tell it to apply? Because if you did you told it to apply to your current open mail boxes. Tell it not to apply initially, say no. Then close mail and re open it and then see if it does what it is doing now, or does what it's supposed to do. It has been a peculiarity of Apple mail for years that if you say yes in the dialog in applying the rule when setting it up, or just after setting it up it does all sorts of strange stuff. Have had it happen to me before that all new mail regardless was going to the box of the new rule instead of my in-box because I said bess. But chances are if you say no then close mail and restart then any mail designated to rule procedure will from that point on go to the place where you want it to go, however, sometimes you will get mail from individual members that might still show up in your main box. The rule by default is being applied when you start mail but it's not sea rching and moving stuff that you already have gotten only what is coming in. Think you are fortunate that it's moving the groups messages to bulk mail, and not everything into the box that you have the group's mail going to.
So find the rule and edit, and then say okay and see if the apply dialog comes up. If it doesn't then delete the rule and set it up again, and this time say no in that final dialog. Then restart mail wait a while then check the new box and see if anything has gone in there, then check the bulk and see if it's sending them there still. If the second is happening, then I think there's a problem that I can't figure out an answer to, in other words something buggy.
